Narve Gilje Nordås plans to retire his current successful shoes after the Paris Olympics due to new regulations by World Athletics requiring a maximum heel height of 20mm.
These changes were approved in December 2021, with a deadline of October 30, 2024, prompting Nordås to express frustration at the lack of predictability and the cost of developing new shoes.
While Nordås can still use his current model for upcoming competitions like the European Championships and the Olympics, many of his competitors may need to make adjustments.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen, however, is not affected as Nike’s shoes were already compliant with the upcoming regulations.
Nordås next race is the 5000 meters at the European Championships in Rome on June 8.
